乙 Yi Wood Day Master: Flowers and Vines
Yi Wood is grass, flowers and climbing vines: flexible, resilient and quick to find a way around obstacles. A Yi Day Master reads people well, adapts gracefully and grows by connecting with others. In saju, the heavenly stem of your birth day — the Day Master — represents you. If your day pillar starts with 乙 (Yi, Eul in Korean), this page is about you.

Work and career
You shine in roles that need people skills and taste — design, counselling, marketing, sales, HR, beauty and anything that grows through networks.
Love and relationships
Affectionate and attentive, you notice small things. You feel secure with a partner who is steady and openly reassuring. In a saju chart, the spouse star for a Yi Wood Day Master is Earth (Wealth) for men and Metal (Officer) for women. The 庚 Geng (Yang Metal) Day Master, your combining partner, tends to feel a natural pull toward you.
How your birth season changes you
The same Day Master behaves differently depending on the season (month branch) of birth.
| Spring February – April | Born in its own season, the Day Master is strong and self-reliant. The task is to express and share that strength rather than hold on to it. |
|---|---|
| Summer May – July | You pour your energy into the season — expressive and productive, but watch your stamina. |
| Autumn August – October | The season presses on you, so you grow through discipline and pressure. Find allies and protect your rest. |
| Winter November – January | The season feeds you, so support and resources come easily. Beware of comfort turning into complacency. |
Saju months follow the solar terms, and the last month of each season (Chen, Wei, Xu, Chou) carries Earth energy too.
